A&W has opened 51 new restaurants in the last two years, and more are in
development. The opening of the restaurant in domestic Terminal 1 is a
highlight for both A&W and Toronto Pearson in that A&W is the first and
only national hamburger restaurant chain in Canada's leading airport.

"Opening a new restaurant is always cause for celebration, but this one
is particularly significant and special," said Paul Hollands, President
and CEO. "With this 750th opening, Ontario now has more A&W restaurants than any other province.
This milestone demonstrates that our goal of making more restaurants
available to our customers in Ontario is becoming a reality."

"We are extremely proud of the ongoing opportunity to provide great
tasting food and friendly, efficient service to Canadians all across
the country - and, with today's opening, to people travelling to and
from Canada through our busiest and largest airport."

To mark the occasion, Hollands and the A&W team were joined in a grand
opening celebration this morning by, Pamela Griffith-Jones, of Toronto
Pearson, and, of course, the Great A&W Root Bear™.

"We are pleased to welcome another great food and beverage offering to
Toronto Pearson," said Pamela Griffith-Jones, Chief Marketing and
Commercial Officer at Toronto Pearson International Airport. "Our
guests have been asking for a national burger chain at the airport and
we're pleased to be able to deliver on that request. We are committed
to expanding our dining options for our guests as we remain focussed on
improving the overall guest experience at the airport."

The Toronto airport A&W features the company's successful, new "Urban
Concept" format, which offers the iconic burger family, frosty mugs of
legendary A&W Root Beer™ and a selection of salads and several new
chicken sandwiches.

The urban-friendly concept also features self-serve ordering kiosks. A&W
is the first quick service restaurant chain in Canada to offer
customers the convenience of self-order kiosks, which were initially
introduced on a trial basis in Vancouver in 2010, prior to the Olympic
Games. Located at the front of each restaurant, the kiosks allow
customers to use their debit or credit cards to quickly and efficiently
place their orders. The new design sees the menu boards removed from
the back wall, and instead placed on the counter with bold photos to
facilitate easy ordering for multilingual customers. It also features
environmentally conscious packaging such as reusable French fry
baskets, smaller food wrappers, reusable frosted mugs, china plates and
stainless steel cutlery instead of paper or plastic — and energy
conservation measures.

Since its founding as Canada's first drive-in chain in Winnipeg in 1956,
A&W has continually re-invented itself to meeting Canadians' changing
lifestyles while creating fond memories and providing great food for
Baby Boomers and their families.

one of the strongest brand names in the Canadian foodservice industry.
A&W is the nation's second largest hamburger chain with 750 locations
coast-to-coast. A&W Restaurants feature famous trade-marked menu items
